auto date field

Question

I am looking to put in a field that will automatically
populate the current date mm/dd/yyyy - I am creating a certificate
for the user to enter their name and print out the certificate with
the date they took the course. also while I am at it how can I
create a button for them to print just the current captivate page..

Thanks

Hi devokan and welcome to our little community

For the print bit, check out fellow Adobe Community Expert Paul Dewhurst's print widget. You can see it by clicking this way cool and super handy little link.

For the date bit, I'm thinking you would have to resort to using JavaScript. Still struggling a bit, however, with how you would tie it into the movie. (or I suppose we should start calling them projects now, since that's the term being used all over in Captivate 2

)

As I understand it, ActionScript is more or less very similar to JavaScript, so maybe something could be done in Flash that would accomplish this. My Flash skills are nowhere near that level yet, so I'll have to defer to one of our resident Flash experts for that.

Cheers... Rick
